Product Description

Product Description

"I've been married so many times, they should revoke my license," says NY model, and reluctant pilot Lalla Bains.

Running her dad's Crop-Dusting business in Modesto, California she's hoping to dodge the inevitable fortieth birthday party. But when her trophy red '58 Cadillac is found tail-fins up in a nearby lake, the police ask why a widowed piano teacher, who couldn't possibly see beyond the hood ornament, was found strapped in the driver's seat.

Reeling from an interrogation with local homicide, Lalla is determined to extricate herself as a suspect in this strange murder case. Unfortunately, drug running pilots, a cross-dressing convict, a crazy Chihuahua, and the dead woman's hunky nephew throw enough road blocks to keep Lalla neck deep in an investigation that links her family to a twenty-year old murder only she can solve.

A fast and fun read 10 April 2011
By J. M. Orenduff - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
"I looked out the window at the same view I've seen for the last ten years and counting. I was bored with Modesto, bored with being Noah Bains' loser daughter, two loser marriages, loser modeling career and anything else I might try my hand at--but what else could a loser like me do? I was about to turn forty, right foot in a walking cast, cane on the left, a non-existent love life, living with a mono-syllabic father who had enough of his own hang-ups to put mine to shame."

Lalla Bains's situation get even worse when the police see the fins of her prized Cadillac sticking out of a lake and discover a body behind the wheel. As she sets about to figure out what happened, she proves her self-appraisal to be too harsh. She has spunk, intelligence, and common sense. The physical injuries - sustained when she crashed her crop-duster - will heal, but what about the emotional ones?

Dead Red Cadillac is a fast read with a likable hometown cast of characters we meet at Roxanne's Truck Café in Modesto. The mystery is well constructed and the dialog witty.

A Dead Red Cadillac 4 April 2011
By Margie's Toys - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Lalla Bains is a little rough around the edges, but it is for show only. An ex-model turning 40, with two bad marriages behind her. She is back home in Modesto, CA running the family crop dusting company, feeling down on herself. But when a murder of a woman happens she jumps into action to prove who is and who is not guilty. A cozy that is a fast read and will keep you turning pages to the end. I will certainly read the others in this series.

A Dead Red Cadillac 14 Sep 2011
By TechTeacher - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
WOW! This ranks right up there with Janet Evanovich, the Women's Murder Club, Sue Grafton's alphabet series, etc. There is lots of tongue in cheek humor that I get--the lead character is compelling and the story flows and is very believable--as well as entertaining! This is a must read--even if it was priced higher than 99 cents-- it would be a must read! I read the final pages very slowly because I thought: I am going to miss these characters, especially Lala...but there is another in the series--HOORAY! Congratulations to the author--someone needs to "discover" you!
